The first program of a two-part documentary on Japanese tactics in World War II. Examines the Japanese treatment of allied prisoners-of-war in World War I and World War II, arguing that the cruelty was not so much part of a unique warrior code as modern militarism. Reports on how Chinese prisoners were used as living targets for bayonet practice.
